🎬 About This Video: This is Video #3 in the Endgame Unlocked series. You've learned how to win with the Rule of the Square (#1) and opposition (#2). Now you need to know how to defend when you're the one pawn down. These defensive techniques are just as important as winning techniques—maybe more important, since you'll face these positions constantly.
Defense in chess gets less attention than attack, but it's what separates strong players from weak ones. Knowing you can save a draw down a pawn gives you confidence in the middlegame to trade into these positions when appropriate. It's not about giving up—it's about knowing your defensive resources.
